The Importance of Dreaming

A series of paintings I completed some time ago and haven't shown. Well, now they are seeing the light of day. Looking at them now, I can tell they have been influenced by my admiration of Leunig.

If you like sweet, whimsical little stories, you'll probably really enjoy this. Otherwise, you might want a barf bucket to deal with the saccharine, and I can only apologise in advance if that's the case.

Painting To Music

This is how we escape.
So said Sting, and this inspired my friend Seaboy on his latest album. In turn it's inspired me while working on the painting for the cover for the CD. The songs were all captured from dreams while he was on a long (dream) holiday driving around Australia in a kombi.

Enjoy.





I was asked to come up with a seaboy character, maybe on a surfboard or in a boat, escaping from the storms of everyday life. You'll see that the resulting character IS the boat, and ends up with guitars for wings.
